    I was thinking green too but agree that brown would be good too.

    A dark green would look very nice.

    I would use the same fabric as the sashing. Just make it 4 inches, rather than 2/3. Would make all the leaves come together.

    Beautiful quilt -- I agree the brown would be a good way to frame the quilt. Though this is late, I would make the border wider (about 1/2 the width of the blocks).

    It's a very pretty quilt. I would use a dark brown on the border.

    I think a dark brown border would really set it off
